Siseveekogude

Siseveekogude refers to inland bodies of water, distinguishing them from marine or oceanic waters. This category encompasses a diverse range of natural and artificial aquatic environments found on land. Rivers and streams are prominent examples, characterized by their flowing water that moves from a higher elevation to a lower one, often towards a larger body of water. Lakes, on the other hand, are stationary bodies of water surrounded by land, varying greatly in size, depth, and origin, from glacial formations to volcanic craters. Ponds are typically smaller, shallower versions of lakes. Wetlands, such as marshes, swamps, and bogs, are also considered siseveekogude, defined by their waterlogged soil and distinct vegetation. Artificial siseveekogude include reservoirs created by dams and canals for navigation or water management. These water bodies are crucial ecosystems, supporting a wide array of flora and fauna, and playing vital roles in the hydrological cycle, nutrient cycling, and human activities like agriculture, industry, and recreation. Their health is influenced by factors such as water quality, flow rates, surrounding land use, and climate.
